2026 is going to be a defining year at Vendasta. I have been involved in technology since I graduated with a physics/geophysics degree. After a brief stint in mining, I started a business assembling PCs from 1989 to 2000. I moved into SaaS in 2000, and Vendasta was born in 2008.

I am humbled, excited, and ready to learn. We had the opportunity to meet in person last week, and I walked away thinking one thing: Not only are Eric Johnson and Brent Remai incredibly successful and brilliant, but they are also genuinely some of the nicest people in the world.
Big news: Eric Johnson (CEO, SurveyMonkey) and Brent Remai (CMO, Cloudflare) have joined Vendasta’s Board of Directors! Huge moment for our AI Workforce mission. 🥳

Imagine customers falling in love with your front desk… Even though it’s entirely AI. It’s already happening. Callers can no longer tell the difference between AI and human. Here's the best part… We’ve seen it across clinics, salons, and service-based businesses: ↳ The AI

What if your churn dropped below 1% without adding a single new client? This simple move makes it possible. We recently analyzed 200,000 small businesses using a range of digital solutions ↳ websites, SEO, listings, reputation, ads, and more. 10,000 of them had one critical

I recently spoke to a group at Siinda in Germany about AI. A common theme is that pitching tech to local businesses feels like pushing uphill Unless you start here instead… For many local business owners, the idea of handing over customer interactions to a robot feels risky.

Local SMBs aren’t rejecting AI. They're waiting for one specific thing to take action. Most small businesses aren’t “doing AI” → They’re dabbling. 🔻Sure, they’ve heard of ChatGPT. Some have even asked it to write an email or curate a social media post. ↳But that’s a far cry

It’s easy to get trapped by incrementalism—after all, inertia is the ultimate thief of innovation. To break free, challenge your backlog with these two questions: Will this work empower an AI "employee" to perform tasks on behalf of our users? or Will it merely help the user

This is the most excited I’ve been since 2015. I feel like a five-year-old clutching the Sears or Eaton’s Christmas catalog, circling everything in sight a month before the big day. Not everyone may relate to that specific nostalgia, but here’s the vibe: pure wonder,
